E Get wetin our people never understand for something we concern bitcointalk.org deleting of post, e be like say some of us no no say any post we delete for forum is possible for we to get the post back. Some of us no no say this forum is programed and surrounded with bot app that capture everything we post in the forum even though we delete it that moments it can be figure out with applications.
If I'm too answer In accordance to your topic, then you need to understand how the database works, the site is a php site and I believe each post should be deleted in accordance to their
uid, when a post is deleted it vanishes from a section category either a board or other sections you could imagine deleting a post on.
How does this delete button workAfter deleting a post the a block of code will be called and this code stands as an intermediary between the
DB(database) and the
UI(User interface )In our case, the delete button is the UI button , the code should fetch your stored post with a uid(unique id) parsed through to the code and gets a particular post with that particular uid , this could varies depending on what the dev chooses to use as a call, after which a deletion code should be executed if the
the case is true .
However, if I could imagine it then, posts must have a category class to group them in the section they should be and I believe they will also support a Foreign key but that's too deep to dive into as its also relates to a deletion pattern for a particular post.
Now coming back to if deleted post can still be accessed:
Its very possible as developers can manipulate the way database should work besides, i don't think Bitcointalk.org is Open sourced. This could be done in many ways
---- There could be another posts bank for storing all post apart from the one submitted but with desired category maybe on a different Table in a database, this posts can support api to a supported domains depending on how its been setted
---- Another possible way is having a category section for deleted posts, this could be on a different table too and it typically works as a backup storage for deleted post I.e when you delete a post the this same post will automatically save on the section provided for deleted post in database with maybe other informations added e.g timestamps.
Among others ...... this is the ones I can provide but there are a lot of ways to store your deleted post but this isn't always possible in open sourced platforms as most of them are always end to end encrypted or specified in their documentation I.e that is only the sender and receivers knows what have been shared . I know you might be curious if social media are open sourced, well most social medias aren't opensourced especially the popular ones but I think some provide end to end encryption to your private chats but there's no way to believe that's why
You are always advised to Encrypt your sensitive messages to senders while using platforms and this is not only applicable to non opensourced platforms but also opensourced platforms.
